"This is the Demon Candy Ball! It looks terrifying, but once you have the courage to eat it, it will be an experience you will never forget for how delicious it is!"
"I want it! I want it!" [Diana]
"No, you can't! It contains alcohol! Be sure to tell the others about it, too!" [Nar]
"It's a nice thing to serve at your cultural festival." [Sas]
"I wanted to try one, but I'm sure I can't eat it yet" [Dana].
"Just wait until you're old enough" [Khamisah]
"Would you mind giving me the recipe?" [Head Maid]
"What is this, a food you don't know about, that's rare" [Teacher Ledang]
Just yesterday, Auntie Amleth announced through the Magic Motion Orb that the international multi-nation conference will be held in Amleth at the end of this year, and since it coincides with the cultural festival planned by the succubus herself, they are even more enthusiastic about it.
I share their enthusiasm. One of Nar's succubus friends came to our house this morning to get Nar's and my opinion of what they are doing from an outsider's point of view. Of course, this is a fun thing to do, and when I tell them that I will bring the whole family, the succubus immediately agrees.
"The street sign has to come down" [Khamisah].
"EEH!"
"You know why, right..." [Khamisah]
"We do... Our reputation isn't the best..."
"Don't worry, I will always be your friend!" [Diana]
"Meow" [Fie]
"Young Lady Diana!"
"You're the best!"
"We love you! We will definitely be by your side through any hardship!"
"Such a dramatic reaction..." [Dana]
"That's just succubus nature. If they love someone, they will cling to them dearly" [Nar].
"It's admirable, and of course I will do the same for you!" [Diana]
And they surround me as they hug me. They really are the best! I love playing with them. They're beautiful. They're nice. They always smell good. They treat me like their own little sister. They don't say bad things about you. I'm just not sure why they have a bad reputation.
The succubus street is filled with shops after shops, and of course I stop at every single one of them. There are demons from other races who want to join in, so they join one of the shops, making the thing they serve even more varied.
"If it isn't the young lady Diana"
"You're the Lizardman who was beaten by Mr. Savel the other day! What are you doing here?" [Diana]
"So that's how you remember me... Well, to answer your question, I am getting some special alcohol from the succubus"
"Why is that?" [Sas]
"Well, some of the eggs still haven't hatched even after the Salin Event was over, and according to Miss Eisheth, there is an alcohol that can be used to speed up the hatching of the eggs, so here I am, buying it for the whole village."
"If it's Miss Eisheth, then this information is correct" [Khamisah].
"She didn't seem like a liar, and I was recommended by a trustworthy person, which is why I was here in the first place."
I didn't know that. There is much more for me to learn. As we walk to our next shop, a drunken Master Merlin suddenly hugs me.
"This is great... More! I want more!" [Merlin]
"Master! You stink!" [Diana]
"What is this, little Diana. I may not smell as good as the succubus, but I sure don't stink!" [Merlin]
"Is a teacher allowed to be drunk?" [Dana]
"I'm not drunk. I'm completely sober, I just act like one so I can relax once in a while" [Merlin].
"Aren't you always slacking off... Ouch! How did such a slanderous and non-muscular arm of yours hurt so much?" [Dana]
"That's what you get for being rude to a thousand-year-old witch!" [Merlin]
"Aren't you older... Ouch!" [Diana]
"I'm only a thousand years old!" [Merlin]
"Isn't that pretty old... Hick... Hick... Hiccup... I can't stop my hiccups... I'm sorry... Hick... Sorry, O GREAT WITCH!"
"That'll teach you not to ask a lady her age!"
"The Great Witch is young and beautiful!"
"Of course I am! You young succubi really know how to treat a lady!" [Merlin]
(Is this really the same witch who once taught Her Highness Queen Amleth?) [Head Maid, Teacher Ledang]
It will be even more fun when Master Merlin joins us. Since we are here, I wanted to spend my day with her as well! She immediately agrees. As we were about to move on to the next shop where Miss Eisheth was resting, we overheard a conversation.
"This cultural festival should not be allowed!"
"Excuse me, we have already done the necessary, I believe" [Eisheth].
"Miss Eisheth, what happened?" [Diana]
"
Definitely something that is not good.
